Clint Van Zandt served in the FBI for 25 years, including about six as the agency's chief hostage negotiator. He was involved in many major negotiations, including with David Koresh, the leader of the so-called Branch Davidians, whose compound near Waco, Texas, was the focus of a 1993 siege by federal agents, which ended in the deaths of more than 80 people.
Since retiring from the FBI, Van Zandt has run a corporate security firm. He spoke to High Country News by telephone from Virginia on Wednesday and Thursday. As of early Thursday, the FBI had arrested 11 people and planned to "continue to work around the clock to empty the refuge of the armed occupiers in the safest way possible."
High Country News: What's your impression of how the FBI is handling the Malheur Refuge occupation?
Clint Van Zandt: The authorities both federal and state and local showed infinite patience. The FBI did what they should have done, kept a low profile, allowing the state and the sheriff to do the upfront negotiations. They gave it a chance to resolve itself....

The FBI is letting the Oregon State Troopers do the killing. One down, a few more to go.
Nothing like ‘negotiating’ with tanks.
Same guy praising the FBI who was involved with Waco?!!!
Welcome to FR. Don’t forget to donate. ;-)
And a hostage negotiator to boot. Well done Clint Van Zandt /s
Any comment from Randy Weaver?
/s
And an NBC whore.
What does Lon think about it?
The butcher of Waco and Ruby Ridge says they are doing a good job. With the standards of a mass murderer to go by I guess the measuring mark is a bit low.
And yet a man is dead, and no actual video of the orchestrated "traffic stop" has appeared...
No sale until unedited video proves the guy was a threat.
WACO veteran, I see!

Well there’s a recommendation. Though not positive.
Investigated ourselves ... and cleared...
That means We Got An Enema [Wheeee].
Yeah, almost a month's worth of infinite patience.
Meanwhile no indictments in F&F, no indictments in Benghazi, no indictments for IRS' politically targeting conservatives and Christians, no indictments for Hillary's espionage, no indictments for Hillary selling favors as SecState for Clinton Foundation donations...
My patience is almost gone too, FedMob assholes!
The longer it takes to present that video,the more suspicious their story is. The stronger the stink.
